By far the best snow tire I have owned. I have had Blizzaks (on a Honda Fit) and these are better in snow (The Fit has the Hakkapeliitta 9s now). They made it so my two wheel drive truck is able to go up my driveway without a problem. I can even stop part way up and start again! With all seasons it couldn't do it without out a running start and forget about trying to start on the driveway. I will be replacing the tires on my Ford Flex with these for next year. The only con I have is express way driving. They really are not a great tire above 65 on dry roads the handling of the Fit would best be described as "like driving on gravel" I think it is the studs that cause that and it doesn't bother me as most of my driving is not on the expressways. If you drive rural/ poorly plowed roads though these are the tires I would recommend.

Wow, great handling studded tire. Not as much noise as other studded tires I have had. I was a bit worried on dry pavement but to my surprise the handled great and stopping distance wasnt reduce. Cant wait for more snow!!!
